WHEN

First, he did not even own the business. He was an unlicensed employee. The Obama tax plan would have helped his true situation.

Second, a business making $350k profit would pay about $3k in additional taxes under the Obama proposal. I cannot imagine a business owner with $350k in profits saying, "Damn, I cannot afford another $3k in taxes. I am going to hang this up and work for someone else for $75k a year."

Joe the Plumber was not in any position to buy the company he worked for. He never had been and really did not understand the question he was asking but he was glamorized for being the "working man" really asking the question of the man who makes a comfortable $350k a year. I know we all would like to have big incomes but the truth is we don't. The people that really make that much money would be crucified for asking the question but when a pee-on asks it the press goes wild for him.
The Republican party has seemed to morph into a big business party controlling the religious, ignorant, and wanna be rich wearing a thin vale of christ with a cross in one hand and dildo in the other.

Then Palin enters the picture and unwed pregnancy is all of a sudden ok, no doubt if Obamas daughter was the same age and pregnant it would be a big issue.

I used to think JTP was a plant, he was to perfectly hot and fuckable, but after all his lies were uncovered it was pretty obvious he was a republican drone full of lies and deceit, and of course, was immediately fully embraced by his party :bananacock:
